Cedric's reputation had spread in Jorn City three years ago. Initially, there were rumors surrounding the Shaw family. They had found their long-lost illegitimate child, who was sixth in line to the heir. Soon, reports about Cedric started circulating within the city. First, Frederic had Cedric take over an important yet challenging project in Jorn City. Many doubted his abilities, but he managed to overcome all the problems within three months. He successfully secured the project and started construction. It was a project that had dragged on for more than a year. Even Solomon couldn't handle it. If Solomon couldn't do it, no one else in Jorn City could. Not only did Cedric resolve all the complications effortlessly, but he completed the project with remarkable quality within a year. With that success, Cedric's reputation propelled to fame in Jorn City. Although no one knew what he looked like, his legendary deeds spread far and wide. As an illegitimate child, he naturally had
Everyone knew how much Roy loved Felton. Even if it was Frederic who wanted to harm Felton, Roy would protect him at all costs, let alone Faye, who was Cedric's wife. However, Roy did not stop Faye from feeding her medicine to Felton. It was because he remembered the resolute expression on Faye's face when she rushed into the fire to save them. Roy had replayed that video numerous times. He even zoomed in and scrutinized it in great detail. Her expression at that moment was nothing short of genuine. Her look of fierce determination and decisiveness were not qualities that ordinary women possessed. Before going in to save them, Faye had taken control of the chaotic scene. She signaled to the oncoming vehicles to stop, which minimized further accidents from happening. After that, she rushed to save people from their damaged cars. Everything was well-timed. Roy had seen all kinds of people in his old age. If Faye was truly a villain, they would have no way of surviving the acc
Faye's words made everyone fall silent again. All eyes were fixed on Ruth as if they were trying to read her thoughts. "What do you mean?" Ruth's expression darkened, and she glared at Faye. "Are you trying to frame me after I exposed your true colors? You are a flirtatious woman who slept around with other men and even had an abortion. You've decided to get even out of anger because I told Ced about this." Ruth dropped a bomb on everyone present. The onlookers turned to Faye with judgemental looks. Some even distanced themselves from Faye, afraid that they might be contaminated with her immorality if they stood too close. Anthon looked at Faye with a pained expression. "Faye, why are you so stubborn? You were once a straightforward and kind woman. How did you become like this after going abroad?" All three of them directed their accusations at Faye. Faye looked at the diffuser in the corner of the room. "May I ask who placed the aromatherapy diffuser here, and when was it pl
Poor Tracy thought Roy was looking down on Faye's gift and was speaking sarcastically. "It's nothing if you're usually stingy when it comes to us. However, right now, you are Mrs. Shaw. "Aren't you concerned that you'll embarrass Mr. Cedric for being so stingy when it's Mr. Keane Senior's birthday banquet?" Tracy said mockingly with her hand over her mouth.The people around them heard this and glanced at Faye doubtfully.Roy frowned in displeasure. He was about to tell Tracy off when Robert excitedly stepped forward. "Can I have a look at that vial, Mr. Keane Senior?"As a renowned doctor, Robert had a certain standing in Jorn City. Roy knew that Robert's words would be more effective than anything he said. Thus, he handed the small vial to Robert despite being reluctant.Robert opened it and took a light sniff. He immediately felt refreshed, and his body felt much better. He poured out the pills in excitement and studied them. "Is … Is this the fabled Resurrection Pill?" He
Ruth looked at Faye coldly as she listened to everyone's criticism. "So what if you have the medicine to treat Felton? No matter how well you can dance, it doesn't change the fact that you're a filthy woman and someone's broken plaything." Ruth's tone was sharp. She spoke with arrogance as if she had won."Tell me, are you blind? Or do you think Cedric is?" Faye raised a brow. Her tone was indifferent. It was as though she was unaffected by the comments from those around her."I'm criticizing you now. Don't bring Ced into this. Ced is such an outstanding guy, but he's been tricked by your lies. Otherwise, why else would he be with you?" Ruth became angry from embarrassment."Even I am aware of my glorious past. Do you think he really doesn't know? That must mean you think he's a fool? A masochistic sucker?"Ruth's expression turned murderous. "Don't you dare insult him.""If that's not the case, why do you think he's with me then?" Faye smirked. She may be facing yet another sca
Faye never expected that she would go viral again just for dancing with Cedric at Roy's birthday banquet. Someone had posted a video of her dancing online. Surprisingly, no one recognized Cedric, but they did recognize her as Avery's fellow apprentice. After all, the video of her dancing during the audition was still popular. Thus, this latest video of her instantly became trending news.Tracy turned green with envy when she saw the video. She destroyed numerous things in the hotel room. "Why? Faye, that bitch. Why is she thriving in Jorn City? It was obvious she hadn't danced in many years, and I'd put her down, too. Why does god still help her?"She had grown up in Faye's shadow since she was young. She had worked hard to surpass Faye all these years so that she could snatch away everything Faye had. She initially thought that Faye would crumble as long as she snatched Anthon away. Once Faye was in despair from losing everything, she could keep Faye squashed under her foot.
When Faye arrived at Keane Manor, Ruth was still getting severely reprimanded by Roy and Jason in the living room. All this time, Jason never saw the need to investigate his sister. However, after a series of recent events, Jason realized through the findings of the investigations that Ruth was no longer the same innocent girl he knew from his memories. Ruth took advantage of the power and status she had and did a lot of bad things. She could get convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for each of those wrongdoings. However, Ruth insisted that she had not done anything wrong. She even argued with Jason that the fault lay with those who went against her wishes. Jason closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath. This was the first time he felt so helpless and discouraged in a very long while. The last time he had felt like this was when Avery left him … "Is this a bad time?" Faye appeared calm and collected as she and Cedric entered the living room. Back then, she did
Faye stared silently at Roy, looking awkward. Cedric covered his eyes with his hand as he stood by the door. "Dr. Connor's student? Mr. Keane Senior has quite the imagination …" Cedric snickered inwardly. Then, Cedric recalled how he had made similar predictions before learning the truth. In an instant, the amiable feelings he had for Roy grew significantly. After all, not many would consider the possibility that the renowned Dr. Connor was actually a young woman in her early twenties. Some would even say that Faye was too young to work for Dr. Connor as their student. "Ms. Brown is Dr. Connor's student?" Felton gazed at Faye with admiration. "I'm not …" Faye denied it straightforwardly. Felton was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what to say since he had little experience interacting with others. Roy furrowed his brows. "You … You're not Dr. Connor's student?" Roy could feel his heart drop as he considered Faye to be their last hope at saving Felton. He looked at
Official Hart was well aware that if he indeed went to Pembrook, he couldn't successfully assume the role of the leader without the support of the security team. It wasn't that he underestimated himself, but Pembrook was a peculiar city. Ordinary officials who went there could only be puppets. Even those who thought they had some capabilities, like the previous mayor who attempted to overthrow the security team, faced a tremendously tragic fate. His attempt to gain full control over Pembrook doomed his political career and might even cost him his life. Official Hart didn't want to be a puppet, and he certainly didn't want to lose his life. Going to Pembrook was about enhancing his qualifications to open up more opportunities. In simpler terms, it was about building his portfolio.To go to Pembrook, he must have a good relationship with the security team. Now that the captain of the Pembrook Security team had actively approached him, he had nothing to lose. However, Official
Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.
Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even
Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around. Lizzie remained patie
"Damn it! Damn it! It has to be Faye! This has to be her doing. Damn it!" Tracy pushed everything on the table to the ground. Her face twisted viciously with anger. Over the past few days, scandals about her have circulated on the internet. Even information about her age when she started sleeping around and the number of men she slept with for money was released. Evidence of her plotting to steal Anthon away and bring down the Lynch family was released as well. On top of that, there was also information about her working with her mother to chase Flora out and claim Brown Corporation as their own. Every misdeed Tracy had ever committed was exposed before the public's eyes. She became the target of all condemnation. There would be different people gathering near their apartment. As soon as they stepped out of the apartment, they would get beaten. The horrible things that Clint and Lizzie did were later released onto the internet as well. The family of three couldn't even get
Monica suffered from severe depression ever since she married Ethan. She was a strong-willed woman who refused to show any weakness. Even when she was hurt, she would suffer alone and kept giving, not asking for anything in return. Ethan married her but didn't love her. On top of that, he picked on her at every turn and gave her the cold shoulder. She began to get depressed a year after marrying him. With her friend's help, she started treatment. However, the treatment process was painful. Throughout the three years she was married to Ethan, she endured his humiliation without rest, which made recovering much harder. One day, she went to the beach and came close to getting washed away. It was Brody who saved her. Brody went there to look for inspiration for his paintings. When he saw Monica, he was sitting afar and drawing. This painting won Brody countless awards. Just as he was about to leave, there was a high tide, and Monica came close to getting washed away.
Ethan sent the photos and returned to his apartment to wait while drinking. Due to the interview that took place at noon, Ethan's divorce stirred up a storm on Facebook. At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica. Ethan waited an hour before releasing the photos. Everyone switched from cursing at him to cursing at him and Tracy. This was not what he expected. He gritted his teeth. Just as he contemplated how to deal with this, he received a bunch of photos. Apart from the intimate photos between him and Tracy, there were ones of Tracy with other men as well. There was even proof that Tracy got an abortion when she was still a teenager. Going through everything, he finally realized how wrong he had been. He misjudged Tracy and recklessly divorced Monica. He didn't love Monica and resented her for forcing him to marry her. Howeve
"You look alright. Who would have thought you are the kind of man who would cheat on your wife?" Eleanor didn't mince her words and immediately kept her distance. Mandy smiled. "Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her. How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened. She wanted to run, but the reporters had directed their microphones at her. "Miss, why did you choose to be a homewrecker?""Did you know that Mr. Garcia got a divorce because of you?""Do you know how he got to where he is now? It's because of the alliance he formed with the Dalding family through marriage. Without the Dalding family's help, he may have nothing. Will you still love him even if that's the case?"These questions were confrontati
Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled. "Why don't you tell me?""Ethan and Tracy were caught in bed together. Didn't you know?""I knew." He pinched her face. "I was the one who asked Monica to go over."Faye rolled her eyes and pouted, losing her interest in the matter. "Why are you asking me if you already knew everything?""You saw it with your own eyes, and I'm just guessing. I prefer to hear it from
